Minerva Messamore was the daughter of John Messamore and Elizabeth (Betsy) Minton. As such, she was the niece of my third great grandmother Anna F. Messamore. John Allen (Allen) Messamore age 14 was Minerva's nephew. Allen Messamore was also enumerated with his parents Calvin M. Messamore and Ruth Lucinda Morris. Minerva's husband was Sylvanus John (Sib) Morris. Sib Morris was the son of Reuben Morris and Sarah (Sally) Anderson. Minerva's brother Calvin M. Messamore married Sib's sister Ruth Lucinda Morris. So the respective children were double first cousins. |

John Messamore was the son of my fourth great grandparents William/Wilhelm Messamore and Margarethe Elizabeth (Peggy) May. As such, he was the brother of my third great grandmother Anna F. Messamore. John's second wife was Martha Stafford. I do not know if Stafford was her maiden name or if it was the surname of her first husband. It seems likely that her marriage to John Messamore was a second marriage. John's first wife was Elizabeth (Betsy) Minton. Betsy died in 1878, and John married Martha Stafford in 1879. |
